How we handle shower tray repair in Whitburn
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you are dealing with a crack across the base and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can help, on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
How quickly can you book me in?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Whitburn
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
